Attention all of #edutwitter! I'd like to introduce you to our newest #EdtechTitans! Congratulations #Classof2021 #csufedtech @CSUF_EdTech

[Ester Kutsak @EsterKutsak]

If you are looking to advance technology integration into your classroom that is also supported by research, I highly recommend applying to the @CSUF_EdTech Program! I have gained impactful experiences that I utilize daily with my kids! Below is more information! @An_Wr3n @jenith

An interesting read regarding the benefits of #flippedlearning as we slowly return to normalcy, post pandemic. #CSUFEdTech @An_Wr3n https://t.co/jV9aFSGECu

One of my students asked to share their coding project with the class today. They completed this project on their own time, and it really made me open my eyes to the many benefits of coding beyond the classroom. Check it out! https://t.co/OTL2rqll4C @An_Wr3n #CSUFedtech #Coding

I am always looking for impactful ways for my students to collaborate using tech. In less than five minutes, this video explains how students can easily brainstorm, share ideas, and more using a software called Nearpod. @An_Wr3n #CSUFedtech #Nearpod

As students grow with the multiple ever-changing platforms of knowledge, they will need to become #literate in the purposeful use of #socialmedia. Providing students the opportunity to integrate technological platforms will lead to success for our #lifelonglearners. #csufedtech

Interesting article on @BrainChase -an #onlinelearning experience for 2nd-8th graders. It is designed to cure summer learning loss & provide afterschool enrichment. They are known for increasing the #MOOC completion rates! #csufedtech https://t.co/8dkm71alMO #edtech via @EdSurge

[Ester Kutsak @EsterKutsak]

Mixing #MOOC & #ProfessionalDevelopment-here are a list of a few courses that relate to teacher professional development. After trying a few coding activities, "Tech Explorations in the Common Core" is a course I would be highly interested in! #csufedtech

Students of all ages can develop #MediaLiteracy competencies in this fun and engaging lesson! Online or face-to-face, students will activate #CriticalThinking in considering how the #Coronavirus epidemic is being represented in media. #csufedtech https://t.co/4ZLKZ0TfxE

[Ester Kutsak @EsterKutsak]

This is a great resource that includes 5 #medialiteracy lesson plans that you can check out. Check them out & decide which ones work best for you and your students! #csufedtech

I am very interested in using #Instagram in the classroom. I think it will be a great way to feature student work, but also share live activities with parents. Here is a list of different ways you can use #Instagram in the classroom .#csufedtech https://t.co/I2pRhev251

[Ester Kutsak @EsterKutsak]

Yay, we did it!! Go team! #csufedtech @CSUF_EdTech

@ChetanaSrinivas Thanks for joining! #csufedtech

[Ester Kutsak @EsterKutsak]

A6: @edutopia has great resources that engages students by connecting and honoring their #cultures , #backgrounds, and #experiences. #csufedtech

[Ester Kutsak @EsterKutsak]

A5: @WeAreTeachers & @Catlin_Tucker have been two twitter accounts that have been super helpful to me. #csufedtech

[Ester Kutsak @EsterKutsak]

This is such a cute idea! I'm sure the students love becoming the "teacher". :) #csufedtech

[Ester Kutsak @EsterKutsak]

@AFuesterer Exactly! Grades are the only thing that motivated my students. #csufedtech

[Ester Kutsak @EsterKutsak]

A4: My greatest challenge was having students missing their #Zoom meetings because we could not make them "mandatory". #csufedtech

[Ester Kutsak @EsterKutsak]

@artwithmschung @CSUF_EdTech Agreed! My students are definitely checked out. They also know that they will not be "graded" this trimester. Grades are the only thing that motivated them, unfortunately. #csufedtech

[Ester Kutsak @EsterKutsak]

My students loved the experience and cannot wait to do it again! My 6th graders loved having #virtual little buddies! :) #csufedtech

[Amber Tejeda @TejedaAmber]

A3: I did a #GridPals assignment with 6th graders from another school. It was a distance education experience @EsterKutsak and I created for our classes! It was one of my favorite lessons (and my students' favorite too)! #csufedtech

[Ester Kutsak @EsterKutsak]

@amy_n_nguyen It is a feature on #Flipgrid. You need to find a teacher that is "active" on #GridPals. Then, you both become "copilots", allowing your students to comment on each other's #Flipgrids! #csufedtech

[Ester Kutsak @EsterKutsak]

A3: I have used #GridPals on #Flipgrid during distance learning. Students were able to #collaborate with their peers from a different class and respond to their videos. You can also #collaborate with students from different schools! #csufedtech
